I do regret I didn't take him to DAK ever. He loved Disney and had a seasonal pass for years, but never saw that park ... and I think it would have blown his mind since he enjoyed Disney and animals. I meant to earlier this decade, but never managed and his last two years, it likely would have been too much to walk around (and he would have wanted that, he wasn't the ECV/wheelchair type). OK ... that's my sentimental post of the month. Enjoy it. Won't last.

If it's so damn popular why can't they make it work for lunch?>> Simple. For whatever business model/reason they don't want their signature dining locations open for lunch. In 1995 when it opened it was two meals ... and lunch lasted at least six months to a year. It was always busy then, just not dinner busy. As in you could get in without a PS. But it looked like locals were using it as a place for business lunches and it made sense as it was hugely popular for dinner.

I am not a breakfast eater, but went out of my way for Boatwright's. It certainly seems like Disney is saying either eat crap at the foodcourt or go to a character breakfast/buffet. There should be other options. Just more WalMarting ...

You would be surprised what compromises you can make when it comes to WDW if you have no other options available.

Originally Posted By MPierce I understand completely. It's just such a relaxing ride, and allows you to view the Park, and people watch in the comfort of your vehicle. I still think they could keep it open while Space Mountain gets its refurb.

I just know my grandfather wouldn't have tolerated being pushed around. And walking, albeit with a cane, would have been too much for him once he hit 92-93 ... we really should have gotten him to DAK right after it opened. He would have been fine then.
